Life Should Be Happy
We are here on Earth but a short time;
it seems a waste to spend it any other way.
Being happy is something that is individual to each person
and in turn, each person has a responsibility to them self to find what makes
them happy. In short, everyone is responsible
for his or her own happiness.
Doing what you like and liking what you do. People that like
what they do are are usually happier, live longer, healthier and more productive
lives.
When you start to talk to people about being happy you start
to realize the many different ways that people experience happiness. It could be their children or grandchildren;
maybe it’s their pet or a walk in the city. Whatever it is that makes you
happy, make sure and do more of it.
I asked Dr. Jay what made him most happy about what he does
and he answered without hesitation that he loves to teach. Sharing is what makes him happiest about
being the Director at Kerala Ayurveda Academy. He loves to interact with the
students and make sure they understand the concepts that he is teaching them.
Recently Dr. Jayarajan was the keynote speaker at the AAPNA
conference in Las Vegas, the topic was cancer. Every aspect of cancer was
addressed from preventative measures to rejuvenation after cancer
treatments. The event was informative
and really gave everyone a closer look at a more natural way of thinking about
Cancer.
Cancer affects everyone either directly or indirectly. If someone were to ask a crowd several
questions about who was affected by cancer, after only 3 questions just about
everyone would have their hand up.
- How many of you have had cancer?
- How many of you know someone who has had cancer
- How many of you know someone who has a friend or relative with cancer
Stress is the main cause for disease and being unhappy is
stressful. It seems that if we can find a way to be happy and manage our stress
then we could spend less time thinking about getting sick with life threatening
illness.
Ayurveda is about living a happy life: one way to accomplish
that is to learn how to manage stress.
Life can be stressful: learning how to relax is part of finding
happiness.
Ayurveda suggests different techniques to help people to
feel calmer both inside and out.
Learning how to meditate is a great way to de-stress and it’s
not complicated.
Simply find a quiet spot to sit where you will not be
interrupted and focus on how it feels to breathe. What your throat feels like,
how the oxygen feels in your blood, just keeping your attention on inhale and
exhale. If you feel a thought come to you, gently sweep it away and refocus on
your breathing. Sometimes it is beneficial to repeat mantra or word sequences
with each inhale and each exhale.
Have you ever noticed that when people talk about being
healthier, they also talk about being happier too? When you live a healthier
life, you feel better and that makes you happier.
It only takes a moment to stop, don’t worry, and be happy
